You are so loud.

All of you. You are so unbelievably loud. Don't you ever stop? Don't you ever sleep?

I swear to God, I'm sleeping in the gazebo tonight. Away from all of you and your running monologues. You're not Shakespearian! You don't rhyme!

I don't like many of you very much right now. So loud.

I'd snap back at you, but that'd almost be like yelling at a child who needs a nap.

For goodness sake. I was an insomniac before it was the "cool thing" to do. Maybe I should make t-shirts.

I am so very, very tempted to start randomly drugging people. It's not like I haven't done it before to Nathan. I love him but he can be such a...giant stupid head, to steal a phrase from the children.

Just remember to use your power for good and not evil. I hear people learn from their mistakes and all that.

Not to mention if you drug me without my consent I'm going to be kind of cranky. ;)

Do you think Mr. Summers would get upset if we were insomniac t-shirts jogging in the morning?

And now Doug is singing at me. I am very confused.

It really does require testing. The mall has places that make shirts, we could get some.

More than one opinion. To make it accurate as a study. Doug says they are data points.

I say he does not get a t-shirt.

Oh, not. That was just me giving the obvious answer to my own rhetorical question.

I am a wimp, as far as telepaths go. I'm afraid of it, I tend to fall over if I use it for anything more than communication, and I don't shield well.

Almost makes me long for the days when it was just my early warning system...

And I'm pretty sure it wasn't my brain that was shouting at you - Strange's shielding techniques are actually getting easier. Stops me doing the astral wandering in people's sleep too.

Tho' next time you get that cranky, I'm going to ask Moira if it's all right to hit you with the sleep spell. ;)
